October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this month always feels a little more personal for me.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, as were all three of her sisters. So my family has lived the reality of breast cancer in a very personal way. It’s something that has shaped how I think about screening, prevention, and advocating for myself and my patients.

Because of my family history, I started having mammograms at 35; even when I’ve had to push back with insurance about coverage. And honestly… how is that still something we have to fight for?!

Know your family history. Know your body. Get screened when it’s appropriate for you, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or get a second opinion when something doesn’t feel right.

And to the providers out there: listen to your patients, take their concerns seriously, and help them navigate their individual risk.

You know your body better than anyone. Be an advocate for yourself, and don’t be afraid to speak up.

This October, take care of yourself, not just for you, but for the people who love you. 🩷

Such a fun Sunday exploring Downtown Columbia!

We spent the afternoon walking our way through the Downtown Columbia Culinary Walking Tour, enjoying good food, drinks, and getting to experience some of the local spots that make our community so special.

One thing we really appreciated was just how easy Downtown Columbia is to walk and navigate. Everything felt connected and easy to get to, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable.

We also got to learn more about the new FLASH bus service along Route 29, which now connects Downtown Columbia with stops along the corridor all the way down toward Silver Spring. It’s exciting to see more options for getting around and connecting Howard and Montgomery Counties. 🚌

Thank you to the DTC Partnership for putting together such a fun event and bringing the community together!

Two completely different jobs. Two completely different schedules. One very busy family ❤️

He keeps Montgomery County emergency vehicles ready for people who need them.

I run a business, take care of patients, and try to get meals on the table 🙈

Teamwork looks a little chaotic around here but we make it work!

How do your schedules compare?! Comment below👇

A wonderful evening at the 10th Annual Longest Table with Howard County Library at Howard Community College. 🤍

A night centered around food, conversation, connection, and celebrating the community we’re lucky to be part of.

Cheers to 10 years of bringing Howard County together around the table! 🥂

To the man who keeps everything running behind the scenes, who takes care of business at home so I can take care of business outside of it, thank you. We couldn’t do this without you ❤️

And to Gong, thank you for being the backbone of our family and loving on the grandbabies.
